Intel® Xeon™ Silver 4216

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 is a server processor with 16 cores and 32 threads, built on the Cascade Lake architecture. It launched in Apr 2019. Clocks run from 2.1 GHz base to 3.2 GHz boost. A 22-MB L3 cache backs the cores (2.4 MB per core). It addresses DDR4 memory up to 1024 GB across 6 channels. The chip drops into the FCLGA3647 socket and exposes PCIe 3.0 (48 lanes). Rated TDP is 100 W. Notable platform capabilities: AVX-512, Extended Page Tables (EPT).

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 scores 1,798 in single-core performance and 21,085 in multi-core performance (PassMark CPU Mark ratings). From those two ratings Feex computes 6,157 for overall performance, 16,222 for productivity performance, 14,833 for creator performance, 24,248 for engineering performance and 10,665 for gaming performance. Its multi-core throughput works out to 1,318 per core, 659 per thread and 211 per watt. Its computed efficiency index is 616. Its performance index is 76, so its overall performance is 24% below the Intel Core i5-12400 (index 100). Each bar shows the score as a share of a reference ceiling, which is the larger of the 99th-percentile score across the Feex CPU database and a fixed baseline.

Scores for individual PassMark CPU Mark test categories. Higher is better. These are measured test scores, not computed from the single-core and multi-core ratings.

In the individual workload tests the Intel Xeon Silver 4216 scores 77,796 in integer math, 46,994 in floating-point math, 343,542 in compression, 8,866 in cryptography, 1,343 in physics simulation, 20,269 in vector SIMD, 94 in the prime sieve and 43,617 in sorting. Higher is better. Compared with the Intel Core i5-12400, it is 32% above in integer math, 2% above in floating-point math, 51% above in compression, 23% below in cryptography, 23% above in physics simulation, 31% above in vector SIMD, 40% above in the prime sieve and 93% above in sorting. Each bar shows the score as a share of that workload's reference ceiling, the larger of the 99th-percentile score across CPUs with a recorded value and a fixed baseline.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 has 16 physical cores and runs 32 logical threads. It runs 2 threads per core. It runs at a base clock of 2.10 GHz and boosts up to 3.20 GHz.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 is a server processor, belongs to the Intel Xeon Silver family, uses the Cascade Lake architecture, carries the codename Cascade Lake and is manufactured on a 14 nm process. It launched in Apr 2019.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 has 512 KB of L1 cache, 16 MB of L2 cache and 22 MB of L3 cache. That adds up to about 38.5 MB of cache, or 2.41 MB per core.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 has a 3-level cache hierarchy: L1 at 512 KB, L2 at 16 MB and L3 at 22 MB. L3 is the largest level and makes up about 57% of the cache listed here.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 supports DDR4 memory, addresses up to 1,024 GB of memory, uses 6 memory channels, runs memory at up to 2,400 MT/s and delivers up to 115.2 GB/s of memory bandwidth. It does not support DDR5 and LPDDR memory.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 does not include integrated graphics, so a discrete graphics card is required for display output.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 uses the FCLGA3647 socket, supports PCI Express 3.0 and provides up to 48 PCIe lanes.

The Intel Xeon Silver 4216 has a rated TDP of 100 W.
